Education

Architectural education is a topic that often resounds in the architecture debate.

In this issue, we confront the ambitions of universities, the expectations of students, the realities of the job market and ideas about the role of architects in a world that is changing faster than study programs. We ask whether architectural education can respond to the challenges of the modern world.

We talk to the deans of faculties with A+ accreditation, the highest academic category in Poland. We also check out the programs of the country's major architectural universities - what they emphasize and how they respond to climate, technological and social challenges.

The whole thing closes with a summary of Hits/Kits 2025, or a brief balance sheet of what was important in architecture in 2025.
